Cause for concern? I don't bench, and only strict press and weighted chin ups for upper body training. Since beginning HLM and following a Heavy, Medium, Medium schedule for overhead press, I've noticed my shoulder began to pop during certain movements. Always without pain though. My press form is on point, as I've already being to a form session with Andy Baker in July. Anyone else experience this?
I'm currently doing 13 sets of overhead press per week spread out over 3 days. On heavy days, I do a top set of 5, follow by 4 back off sets that are also fairly heavy. Then another 4 sets of 5 on both the following medium days. Is there any chance of accumulating an overuse injury in the long term, even if my form is correct?
No, maybe, yes, I don't know.....
I'd certainly consider putting bench press back in the mix and alternating press days with bench.
Sorry, i meant I tried to fix my form, but it was correct as I went for a form check with Andy in July. I tried to slowly ramp up the weights over weeks, and it still hurts when the weights start to get heavy, pin fire chins, just ignoring it and training through it.
